  			         G      D/f#     Em    
At the dark end of the street  
         G      D/f#     Em    
That's where we'd always meet  
             G             C        G  
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong  
               C       D        G  
Living in darkness to hide our wrong  
C       G            C      D       G  
You and me, at the dark end of the street  
C6       G  
You and me  

             G           D/f#       Em    
I know that time's gonna take it's toll  
             G                 D/f#          Em    
We've got to give back all the love that we stole  
        G                  C    D     G  
It's a sin and we know it's wrong  
           C          D         G  
Oh but our love keeps com  g on strong  
C     G             C       D      G  
Steal away, to the dark end of the street  
C6     G  

        G  
They're going to find us  
        D/f#    
They're going to find us  
        Em   
They're going to find us  
C        G  
Oh someday  
C       G           C       D      G  
You and me, at the dark end of the street  
C6       G        D#7 
You and me  

              G#       D#/g        Fm    
And when the daylight time comes around  
          G#        D#/g       Fm    
And if by chance we walk downtown  
              G#               C#    D#    G#  
If you should see me just walk on by  
     C#             D#    G#  
But darling, please don't cry  
C#            G#           C#       D#     G#  
Tonight we'll meet, at the dark end of the street  

C#      G#  


I usually don't do the key change for the final verse, but it was there in  
the original so I thought I'd include it for the purists in the bunch.  BTW,  
the lyrics may be a little screwy, my favourite version of this tune was  
recorded by Richard Thompson and my memory of the words may include some of  
his own idiosyncratic choices.
